I would like to name my windows if I could displace tabs.

I think there should be user preferences to have a close tab button on every tab.

Built-in customizable RSS reader.
Free beer.

How about full CSS2 support in IE?
 
Mk, Firefox does all of that with extensions and it is all free as in freedom and free as in beer. What else do you want?
 
Tabbed browsing - ip lookup - security...oh wait i have firefox!
 
I just want IE and all web browsers to use free and open standards so that anyone with a computer and a web browser can access any site they want.
 
I said I would like to see more of it, in more browsers.

Besides, Firefox on Mac OS X isn't near as good as on Windows.
 
I had Opera and really liked it. Opera as I understand it is very similar to Firefox, but I haven't tried Firefox. Unfortunately, I'm on AOL right now. Why use another browser if aol's going to waste my bandwidth on their software that I don't even want on this computer (obviously not mine, or there would be no aol)?
